We are excited to share our devotional with you. But before we get into it…what is Advent?

Advent (noun): coming or arrival.

Advent is celebrated for 4 weeks. It begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and ends December 24th (we will be ending our devotional on the 23rd). The focus of Advent is prepare for the coming of Christ. There are two advents that happen: the birth of Jesus and when Jesus comes back. It’s not receiving a daily gift from a Christmas decoration, but a time to focus your mind and heart on the arrival of Christ. That’s our prayer as a community – that our minds and hearts would be focused on the coming of Christ.

Advent has a theme for each week – hope, peace, joy, and love. Our devotional will reflect each theme weekly.

Can this be the prayer of our hearts?: “I will wait with longing for the Lord.” – Psalm 130:5

Our prayer is that you may use this Advent season to wait on the Lord. May He speak to you as you spend time with Him and rest in His truth.

May our hearts reset and beat with His. May we wait anxiously, but with excitement, like a mother waits for the birth of her child. And as we draw closer to the arrival, may we celebrate in His birth.

Things we want you to know:

• Every Sunday we will have a hymn. The hymn will reflect the week’s theme.
• Our wonderful Devotional Team wrote the 4 week devotional! As you go through it, you will hear from many beautiful hearts. We pray you will be blessed by their words.
• One of our team members, Jamie Hooker, created a WONDERFUL workbook that you can download and use for Advent. There are questions in the workbook to answer as well as every hymn and the entire devotional. So you can either come to the site everyday or download our FREE workbook!

Ladies, may your Advent season be blessed as we wait for the King.
